Yes. While there are absolutely things Democrats can and must do to slow, obstruct, etc, GOP hold both House and Senate majorities, severely limiting our options. Johnson and Thune are handing over the own keys and relinquishing their own power. Even for the cynics this should be a shock.
We all like to yell at the Democrats, but it’s really Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune who are letting Elon Musk and his faceless goon squad make a mockery of their power as leaders of a coequal branch without uttering a peep or lifting a finger.
Btw let me reinforce this again when it comes to this crew: EVERY ACCUSATION IS A CONFESSION.
I'm not donating to your political party if all you're going to do is post. I can do that for free. I will donate if you have a project to resurrect FDR and give him a gun
It is astonishing that mainstream media is covering this like it is a shruggie vibe 🤷‍♂️
I, for one, am pretty fond of Canada.

I demand that Chuck Schumer be digitized and uploaded so he can take back control of government systems from inside the computer realm
Last night was about thanking the first responders,,, the LA Fires are now 100% contained. 🙏🏾 He’s a real good guy making a positive impact. JR and I are friends,,, we have had the same struggles and we both turned our lives around. 🙏🏾💪🏾👍🏾 Im not gonna bring politics into this,,, it’s not either or.
My boy JellyRoll is a real SAVIOR,,, he put together a show for first responders, firefighters, police, the military and all their families for free and at his own expenses to thank them for all their hard work here in California. @chuckdpe.bsky.social and I are honored to have Public Enemy perform

On behalf of over-educated xennial libs, I want to personally apologize for today’s Connections.
I think this is the right sentiment about a lot of things but not about inflation. The levels that followed the pandemic were enough to crush incumbents, and did all over the world.
For fucks sake. We didn’t lose because of the price of eggs. We lost because Republicans SAID it was the price of eggs. Now they’re dismantling government, stripping rights, starting trade wars and Dems are saying “look at the eggs!” Leaders lead! Stop chasing their bullshit! Focus and fight back!
As a passive beneficiary of US hegemony my life will be more difficult if it ends, but we seem determined to go in that direction, so
I guess the danger for USA is the same as what happened to UK after the idiocy of Brexit; the rest of Europe adapted and moved on. UK economy still struggling and politicians of major parties afraid to admit it.
So are Vancouver bartenders whipping up a maple syrup and tequila cocktail?

This feeling as a Mavs fan... it's like you went on Twitter and that election dude tweeted "I've seen enough: a golden retriever named Michael Jackson is the 48th President of the United States." You're not awaiting new information, you're wondering when you died and why the afterlife has Twitter.

The month long January Humane Society charity has come to an end. You guys raised $155,030 to help animals all over the country.💜💛 Thanks for being the best damn community around.
Anyone have any advice for living in a modern day East Germany
That may be true! But more work will be needed to figure out why ignored it, or simply didn’t know, when Trump repeatedly said he would do all those things.
Much work is needed to learn why voters who supported Dems in the past stayed home & why too many who voted D in the past took a flyer on Trump. But I'm certain, none of them wanted to pardon the Jan 6 traitors who assaulted police, fire top FBI investigators, or pick a trade war w/ Canada & Mexico.
Big thanks to everyone who stayed even though the show started two hours. About 85% of people stayed, which amazing. Thank you. (I don’t know what that insignia is btw. Everyone in event staff had that logo.)
Houston. The venue had an issue that has now been resolved. Sorry for the inconvenience but doors are now open. Show will start as soon as we can.
Some thoughts on marketing.
"You always need that iconic specimen that is going to catch your imagination so you can think broadly and ask the question, where do we come from?" said Dr. Zeray Alemseged on the importance of Lucy's fossil—the very first specimen of Australopithecus afarensis found.
on threads I had the option to use a filter to read fewer political posts but here I’d prefer a filter that helped me not write them
this is theft on an unimaginable scale
3/ different pieces fit together. There also seems to be a significant amount of downloading government data onto private servers, etc, totally outside any cybersecurity regime. Additionally it’s unclear to the people inside whether the people doing these things actually work for the US govt…
The most surreal and maddening feature of the campaign was that everyone agreed that high prices were the main issue but the guy explicitly, consistently running on a platform of raising everyone’s prices won voters most concerned about high prices. We hammered this time and time again and yet.
This is the candor needed from leaders !
NEW - BC Premier David Eby says he had an incident early in his adult life that made sure Jack Daniels is no longer his drink of choice. #bcpoli
There's such a tone of sadness to the CBC reporting right now. Adrienne Arsenault says, “I feel like the whole country, all of us, are getting both a history lesson and a politics lesson and an economics lesson and a lesson in heartache.”
Questions for the Canadians out there. There seemed to be a pro Trump conservative movement that dragged down Trudeau. Is that movement getting stronger or weaker ?
Wow! I've never seen a snail eat something right in front of me before. That's really cool!🐌🌱
The higher costs from Trump’s tariffs will be felt by the nurse in Philomath and the firefighter in Coos Bay. Not by Trump, Elon Musk or their billionaire buds.
Trump on his trade war: "WILL THERE BE SOME PAIN? YES"
I am announcing retaliatory tariffs against the United States. If you are in the United States and you are reading this post you owe me 30 cents.
Even before you raise the blinds, the silence give it away. Year’s first.

Scariest thing I’ve done as a parent: The recent CSS WG meeting had no childcare so Chris and I took our 5 year old with us and she sat quietly at her tablet during the meetings. I was very apprehensive but she asked us to trust her, so we did. And she did great. So proud of her. 🥰
I, for one, am starting to think maybe this Luka → Lakers trade wasn’t so good for the Mavs.
